created it. The sun is but a mass of matter without consciousness that

Allah created from nothing. One day it will consume its energy and

die, or perhaps Allah will reduce it to insignificance before that.

Because Allah created the sun and all other celestial bodies from

nothing, it is He who should be praised for those beings. This fact is

stated as follows:

And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and

moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or to the moon, but

prostrate to Allah, who created them, if you should

worship Him. 25

Interestingly, evolutionists of today recite the very same

fundamental tenet of this ancient religion of sun-worship by claiming

that we owe our existence to the sun. According to evolutionist

sources, the origin of life on earth is attributed to the sun, and rays

emitted from the sun sparked life on earth. Solar energy was also

claimed responsible for the generation of other living species and solar

rays for mutations producing change. This approach was described by

Carl Sagan, the famous American atheist astronomer, who wrote in his

book, Cosmos:

24 Surah an-Naml, 27:24-25.
25 Surah Fussilat, 41:37.
